ç Active Overlay
ç Overlay List
When you select an object, the active overlay changes to reflect that object's overlay. New objects are added with the displayed overlay. And if you change the active overlay while objects are selected, those objects will be moved to the new overlay.
Using the Active Overlay, you can:
Ø Change the overlay of new and selected objects by dropping down the list and selecting a new overlay.
Ø Add a new overlay by clicking the active overlay text, typing in a new name and pressing Enter.
Using the Overlay List, you can:
Ø View if an overlay contains any objects. If an overlay is populated, it will have a small symbol or small colored square to the right of the overlay's name. Empty overlays have nothing next to their name.
Ø Hide, show, or freeze objects in an overlay, by clicking on the checkbox next to the overlay name. If the checkbox is empty, the overlay is hidden. A checked overlay is visible and editable. A gray checked overlay is visible, but cannot be edited.
Ø Delete an overlay by selecting and pressing Ctrl+Del. You will be prompted for what to do with items already in that overlay.
Ø Change the active overlay by double-clicking on the name portion of an overlay in the list.
